I think the vast majority of landlords are parasites, but definitely not all.
You think every single person should be entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars of property on loan? Some grown ass adults out there struggle to tie their shoelaces because they're still holding their crack pipe. Landlords are the vehicle by which the needy gain access to housing in capitalism, they're a symptom and not a disease. Fix capitalism (with socialism) and the symptom will disappear.
I'm not feeling "torn apart" in the slightest, most reasonable responses have been very much in agreement with me while dissenting views have been mostly ad hominem or baseless accusation.
You're framing the issue all wrong. Money is fake. Housing is necessary to live. Maybe everyone should just have a house and we shouldn't commodify a necessity to living. Same with food and water. Anyone who profiteers off of a life necessity is a parasite.
Landlords do not give crackheads housing for fear of them destroying it. If you want to house them, set up council housing for social needs. Landlords just take money from working people for no work.
As for solutions our current system allows for council housing and hosuing cooperatives. Those are much better then landlords.
council housing and housing coops sound a lot like what I said about socialism being the solution, but yeh
I thought you were genuinly argueing that landlords keep crackheads of the street. Should have been more forgiving.
not all landlords lol
Found the landlord.
Found the crackhead.
